Wedding Wear with Kate Spade and Poshmark

Guess how much this entire outfit cost. Go ahead...take a guess. I'll wait while you tabulate the numbers.

$155...yes...$155. And everything I am wearing in these photos are designer. Poshmark, the Bloomingdale's clearance rack, and TJ Maxx offer great designer items at cheap prices, as long as you are willing to work for it. I found this clutch on clearance for $50 at the bottom of a shelf full of socks and stocking. I found these Kate Spade earrings for $25 on the Bloomingdale's clearance rack. However, one earring was on the clearance jewelry table...and the other one was buried halfway across the store under some iPhone cases. (I got lucky on that one). I got this dress on Poshmark for just $50 after watching the price fall for a few weeks (and praying no one else snatched it up).

Tweed and Kushy Foot

During the fall and winter (and now a cold beginning to spring), I am in tights all day long. When I'm wearing a bad pair, I am spending a good portion of my day doing a sly shuffle to pull up sagigng tights or unroll a bunched up waistband. So, I am always on the look out for a good pair of tights. And I have found them....Kushyfoot. But, Kushyfoot tights are so much more. Not only do they have comfy shaping tights, but their tights come complete with massaging soles! (hence the name Kushyfoot). Not only do I not get saggy crotch in these tights, but my feet are also pretty comfy!

Dresssing Up Like Mindy Kaling

No. 2 Pencil Skirt: J. Crew (in different colors, worn) | Gingham Shirt: J. Crew Factory (worn, exact, ON SALE) | Shoes: White House Black Market (similar steal & splurge) | Rumba Gem Drops: Bauble Bar (similar) | Watch: Michael Kors | Bracelet: Banana Republic (similar)

Mindy Kaling is pretty much my fashion and life icon. Every episode of The Mindy Project gives me some inspiration for a new outfit. I knew I wanted to emulate this outfit. When I saw it on the show, I thought the earrings looks a little Baublebar-esque. And my fashion intuition was spot on, because The Mindy Project's costume designer teamed up with Baublebar for a line. I pretty much wanted every thing from the line. However, I settled for my sparkly studs. I had to tone down Mindy's outfit a bit for work. I am not lucky enough to work in an OB/GYN office that also doubles as a J. Crew catalog shoot. At least I was able to exactly duplicate her earrings.
